Erectile Dysfunction – General Information
Research shows that today more than 18 million men in America over the age of 20 suffer from erectile dysfunction (or ED). In the population of men over 65 years of age, nearly 15% to 25% suffer from ED.
As with many conditions the cause of ED varies man to man. These may range from nerve damage, medication side effects, etc. While there is no ‘cure’ for erectile dysfunction, most cases can be successfully treated with prescription medication. These ED meds help men to achieve and maintain an erection when taken prior to sexual intercourse. For some men it may take 3 to 4 times to achieve the full benefit. If results are still not achieved after using several times, talk to your doctor about changing your dosage.
